Question 1 of 5
A client comes to the clinic with reports of dysuria and frequency. The nurse practitioner suspects that the client is experiencing a UTI. Which laboratory testing would be most important?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Urinalysis. This is the most important test because it can detect the presence of bacteria, white blood cells, and nitrites in the urine, which are indicative of a UTI. Urinalysis also provides information on the urine pH and specific gravity.
Choice B, Chest X-ray, is not relevant to diagnosing a UTI.
Choice C, Blood culture, is used to identify bacteria in the bloodstream, not in the urinary tract.
Choice D, Complete blood count (CB
C), may show signs of infection but does not directly identify a UTI.
